any investigation

so far as we can ascertain, they, have literally stood up in the City Hall and indulged in screeching and howling, to an extent quite typhoonish, and in a manger more suited to Salvationist or Dervish modes, than, to the role they assume to play as representative citizens. Let as briefly consider the ques- tion: The present Observatory was the outcome of an agitation extending over a period of years. It was finally disposed of by Governor Porx HENNESSY, who in coming to a decision, had the benefit, in addition to the mature advice of the Surveyor-General Mr. J. M. PRICE, the professional experience of Major, now Major-General, PALMER R.E., an authority upon Astronomical or Engineering matters difficult to equal. Under such experi- enced guidance, the Colony obtained an economical Observatory; limited to conceivable requirements, which for com pactness and completeness has but few rivals, and is so designed and placed, as to be capable of extension to meet almost any possible scientific requirements of the future. The Observatory was opened in 1883. and the present Incumbent, Dr. Doberck. Installed; and he has since con. tinued to direct its working, in our opinion with marked success and benefit. It is an Indisputable fact, and one which cannot be ignored, or even challenged by the Chamber of Commerce wiseacres, that since the open-

the principal agitators have been those connected with shipping interests, it will not be forgotten it was they likewise who were the bitterest opponents for the amelioration of the labour of their employes on Sundays. To these gentle. men the Red ball of Dr. DuszRCX is a veritable "red rag," for the poorer shipping interests of the Colony, taught by only too bitter an experience, naturally fy to places of shelter at its sight, and this so materially affects the pockets of our patrician money grabbers, that they declare the Director of the Observatory's Storm signal to be a perfect nuisance, and are striving to hold the halyards themselves at the City Hall. Better far, say we, for the cry of "wolf" to continue as symptoms warrant, and for a thousand storm warm- ings to be hoisted in vain from under the "venérable hills" of old Cathay, than for single hour's havoc to result such as this colony witnessed in the years 1862-4-5 or 1874.
